Is the Provision of Education in Sri Lanka Equitable?

The Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA) and ACTED, in collaboration with zonal education departments and Local governments in Batticaloa, Monaragala and Mullaitivu Districts launched the benchmark reports of the Electronic Citizens Report Card (e-CRC) on the Delivery of Secondary Education Services and Public Services on January 22, 2019. The survey was carried out under the EU funded project: ‘Co-creating social development and good governance: fostering cooperation between Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and government authorities for better social services’. The project focused on enhancing the capacity of CSOs in cooperation with government authorities to promote better access to and quality of services, while ensuring the accountability of service providers.
The National event is the culmination of this two-year research programme, and shared the results, lessons learned, and best practices on the delivery and quality of social service provision. The event was attended by District Secretaries / Government Agents, Provincial Commissioners / Assistant Commissioners of Local Governments, Officers of Zonal Education Divisions, Chairman/Secretary of Pradeshiya Sabhas, and Members of Community based Organations in Batticaloa, Monaragala and Mullaitivu Districts.
